Bluenose / The Original Houghton Weavers
Bluenose / Part 3
Time to swab the decks.
A mop in both hands!
Hosing ‘er down.
I might have done more talking than swabbing.
Polishing the bell is an special assignment.
And a joyful one.
Those portholes were tarnished!
Repairing a turnbuckle.
Learning some knots.
Charting course.
Modern navigation.
On course – Mahone Bay
A turn at the helm!
A dream come true!
Steady as she goes.
Bringing her in.
Mahone Bay.
Ready anchor!
Sploosh!
Time for lunch.
Coming Up!: Set Sails!!

This was another great post on Bluenose 2. The weather on the boat looks very nice. I really like all the great pictures on this post. I hope you had a great time in Ontario and Niagara Falls? I can wait to see next post on Blue Nose 2 .
I’m jealous! She looks like a lovely schooner and you two look like you had a great time despite the hard labor!
This vessel is gorgeous. 50 millions dollars.
A once in a lifetime experience. We were aboard for 9 hours and got our money’s worth.
Isn’t it amazing how much work we’ll do on vacation? When was the last time you swabbed the decks at home ? It looks like you are having lots and lots of fun!
Wellll … we were supposed to be part of the Crew. And since this was the first time they had ever done this ‘Crew for a Day’ they were trying out a few things. (Don’t think those decks really needed swabbing.) Later on we did get in some real sailing.
